[PATCH 4.9 18/39] tap: double-free in error path in tap_open()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Girish Moodalbail <girish.moodalbail@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 78e0ea6791d7baafb8a0ca82b1bd0c7b3453c919 ]

Double free of skb_array in tap module is causing kernel panic. When
tap_set_queue() fails we free skb_array right away by calling
skb_array_cleanup(). However, later on skb_array_cleanup() is called
again by tap_sock_destruct through sock_put(). This patch fixes that
issue.
